Hi Guys
Ive got 2 very good condition, normal size and width Amerigo saddles to sell and I'm really unsure of the best place to sell them.
I oridginally thought of Saddles Direct, but they now take an eyewatering 30% when they sell your saddle.
Looked at Ebay, but not sure that is the best place to get a reasonable price, as hoping to get £1000+ per saddle (SD valued them at £1300).

Anyone got any ideas, or had any good experiences selling their saddles, either where I've thought about, or anywhere else.

Am also aware that now may not be the best time, as everyone possibly still feeling a bit poor after Christmas
Thank you in advance! :)

America? Seriously. Worth asking on COTH for the best site to advertise.

But looking at the listings on ebay 'America' seems to be doing its best to sell them to us!

OP - it's a terrible market for saddle sales at the moment. I'm looking for a dressage saddle (Amerigo / Equipe / Prestige, etc) and have been watching a few on ebay recently. 3 ended over the weekend (fabulous condition, almost brand new) - one had 1 bid of £750 and didn't reach its reserve, the other 2 were on for £999 and didn't get any bids. I think they're only selling if they're offered at vastly reduced prices - I certainly won't be paying top dollar for one.
 
I've literally just received a thing on FB with two vgc Amerigo saddles offered for sale. I'm assuming they're not yours but it shows that there's plenty around at the moment unfortunately.

Put them on the BD site too - it's free and I bought my last dressage saddle from there. M_M - I assume that you're watching the BD site....? ;)
 
Hmmmm, thata not good news if you're selling, I had seen a few on eBay selling for £500-600. Had hoped as mine were popular sizes and vgc I might get more.... but maybe not.... Will try BD and Horsequest, thanks everyone. :)
 
Just be careful with this brand at present as I believe the importer had several new saddles stolen recently so they could end up on the internet.They were Amerigo and equippe 15 in total .Just to warn really as I would hate any of you to lose your cash!
